The relevance of the research is conditioned by the necessity to acquire knowledge of a foreign language by cadets of higher military educational institutions and servicemen for successful performance of official duties. In the article, the scientific and methodological literature on the use of video materials for teaching a foreign language has been analyzed. The aim of the article was to define the importance and necessity of using video materials for teaching English to cadets of higher military educational institutions and servicemen. The requirements of English knowledge in listening and speaking for servicemen, whose knowledge of English corresponds to the standardized speech level ‘functional’, have been considered. It has been found that servicemen have to understand conversations on both everyday and professional topics and to be able to communicate effectively in everyday and standard working situations. Based on the analysis of the literature, the advantages of the use of video materials for teaching a foreign language have been determined; the main techniques of using video materials (watching video materials without sound, listening to the plot without watching a video file, watching a video file with stops, partial watching (when a part of the screen is closed and cadets / servicemen have to guess what was closed), division of cadets into two groups) and requirements for selecting video files have been characterized. In the article, the necessity to teach to understand the real speech of native speakers has been highlighted; the description of oral informal spontaneous speech has been given; the practice of selective ignoring the heard information has been clarified. The examples of websites, which correspond to topics of teaching of cadets / servicemen have been given (U.S. Army Talent Management, VSB Defense, Military Comparisons, Defense Forces and Military Center). Taking into account the received information, the recommendations on the work with video materials have been given. The necessity of teaching cadets / servicemen how to work with video materials and how to develop the ability to learn English independently with the help of video materials was specified.

In India acquisition of English language is imperative if one wants to sell oneself in the increasingly competitive job market. With a booming population the nation is filled with educated, technologically literate youth. English is not merely a foreign language in India. As India is separated by a plethora of languages knowledge of English is imperative. As the teachers in India are not native speakers of English the language they teach is not free from errors. The articulation is quite problematic as the mother tongue influence is quite pronounced. Technology helps to reduce these errors. Movies as a tool can enhance the listening and speaking skills of our students. It is quite boring to work with disembodied voices and the recorded conversations available in language labs do not sustain the learner’s interest. However learners are often forced to listen to recorded conversations of people they never see, the conversation is often stilted and contemporary idiom is hardly used. However, a completely new dimension to aural practice can be added in the classroom by using movies. <br /><p><strong> </strong></p>

The article touches upon the problems of teaching English as a third foreign language in higher educational institutions of the Republic of Armenia. The students’ mother tongue, in this case, is Armenian. Russian is the first foreign language and French is the second one. Considering the fact that the students’ 2nd (French) and 3rd (English) foreign languages have significant similarities that can cause both positive transfer and negative interference, the teaching/learning process of English should be organized by paying special attention to the similarities and taking into account certain peculiarities. Accordingly, the use of correctly selected exercises can help in organizing the teaching/learning process more quickly and effectively. The author also introduces some “dangerous” language phenomena that may bring about undesirable interference in learning English after French. In addition, a number of exercise samples are provided that might be used to develop the students’ lexical, grammatical and phonological competences in teaching/learning English as a third foreign language.

Correct Pronunciation

This article deals with the issue of the features of pronunciation in teaching English specifically on the pronunciation difficulties of Uzbek learners. An important aspect in learning a particular language is pronunciation. Based on the explanatory Dictionary of Contemporary English Longman, pronunciation is a particular person’s way of pronouncing a word or words. In English language, there are not one-to-one correspondence between the letters of the alphabet and the sounds they represent. It is the aptness in pronunciation that makes our language comprehensible to others. Therefore, apart from grammar and spelling, one has to concentrate on pronunciation as well. There are some problems for foreign learners like age and perception as well. Very often students mispronounce the words, distort the pronunciation because they are not involved into the conscious approach of practicing sounds, words and sentences, instead, they are simply made to parrot out sounds and words without realizing what they are doing. In fact, training English pronunciation is necessary from the very beginning of learning a foreign language. Otherwise, it will be quite difficult to correct and make up for the fixed errors. Everyone faced the problem of pronunciation in the initial stages of language learning. It is important from the beginning of training to master sound speech, to learn how to pronounce sounds like native speakers do. In addition, the article considers the problem of interference and notes the most typical mistakes made by Uzbek learners when pronouncing English vowels and consonants. The goal of this article is mainly aimed at teaching and mastering the simplest and easiest ways of correct pronunciation of the studied language.

Approach To Teaching

The article is dedicated to substantiating the reasons for applying a contextual approach to teaching English for special purposes (ESP) in higher military educational institutions. Even though future officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine should meet severe requirements as to the level of English language acquisition, when English teachers enter an ESP classroom in a military university, they meet a lot of low-skilled students with a lack of motivation. The students can be afraid of expressing themselves in a foreign language; sometimes they are afraid, stressed, unwilling to speak up because they may not see any necessity in doing so. That’s why at ESP lessons teachers should focus not only on the subject-matter of the course but also increase students’ motivation, create a positive atmosphere, develop critical thinking and professional competence, encourage group work for reaching mutual goals. All above mentioned poses a challenge to the teacher, and the solution can be in applying a contextual approach to teaching English for special purposes that implies contextualization of materials to create true-to-life situations and submerge the students into job-related surrounding making them think about their previous experience and ways of its application under different circumstances. The article generalizes the practical experience of using contextualized materials at the English lessons for special purposes and proves that they help to create a meaningful environment for learners. As the result the students demonstrate an eagerness to express themselves using a foreign language, they are involved in the lesson and ready to work in a team. So, using contextualized materials at the English lessons for special purposes in higher military educational establishments is an up-to-date issue, as it helps to form necessary language competence of future officers, create additional motivation, and involve students in job-related activities.
